Lessons Learned from the Adoption of Analytics Tool for Advanced Performance Measurement in a Hospital Unit
A successful quality improvement (QI) initiative is essential to help a health care organization boost efficiency and improve its business model. It is critically important that the health care organization measures and monitors whether the anticipated outcomes are achieved. Health information technology (HIT) is often used to support systematic QI efforts by providing timely and valuable feedback on performance.
For your video presentation, you must first create a 6- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation (including introduction and conclusion slides, but not counting title and references slides) that includes your entire QI initiative, and then you will create a video recording of your presentation.
For your Quality Improvement Initiative PowerPoint presentation,
Create a 6- to 10-slide PowerPoint that presents the required criteria listed below:
Describe the nature of the business, services or products, and customers served by your chosen hospital.
Evaluate one measure of your choice.
Discuss the importance of your selected measure (e.g., accreditation status, patient safety, and/or financial status of the hospital).
Define two to three SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound) goals for your selected measure to improve.
Analyze specific local, state, or national policies (e.g., The Joint Commission Standards) that have been developed to improve your selected measure based on evidence-based practice research.
Identify at least three quality improvement and/or risk management tools or methodologies needed for your QI initiative.
Judge the stakeholders involved to accomplish your QI initiative.
Examine other resources (e.g., time, financial, materials, etc.) required for your QI initiative.
Assess an appropriate advanced HIT that can be used to support your QI initiative.
Describe how your QI initiative can be incorporated into the organization’s overall strategic plan.
Determine how to evaluate the effectiveness of your QI initiative.
Design your PowerPoint based upon the Quality Improvement Initiative Final Project Template Download Quality Improvement Initiative Final Project Template.
Compose a transcript for your presentation in the Speaker Notes area.
